Lycopene, the antioxidant content in tomato fruit, believed by experts to cause the bones to grow stronger. Previously lycopene has been known to be beneficial to prevent prostate cancer in men and also prevent heart disease.

In a study conducted in Canada, the experts asked 60 women were postmenopausal or around the age of 50-60 years to stop the consumption of tomato products from the daily menu for a month.
Apparently this increases the levels of N-telopeptide in the blood, the body chemical that is released in the blood when there is a broken bone. Then, during four months of research respondents are given tomato juice containing 15 mg of lycopene per day, as well as plus 35 mg capsule of lycopene. As a control group of respondents who are getting a placebo capsule.

The results of N-telopeptide levels in women who drank tomato juice or lycopene capsules plummeted. But the benefits were not obtained by the women who took placebo capsules.

As a precaution, experts recommend the consumption of two glasses of tomato juice every day. Results were published in the journal Osteoporosis International

[Warning] LongTime Sit on Front Computers incur Many Diseases

In America the trend is currently working desk designed so that users can do the work while standing. The phenomenon took off from the publication of scientific evidence concerning health hazards sitting all day at the office.

Here are some of the results of research on the effects of sitting too long at work. :

1. In 2010, a study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine found those who sit for long periods of higher risk of contracting the disease than people who regularly make muscle movement.

2. Researchers from the American Cancer Society found even people who exercise every day, will not find any benefit for her if she spends most of his time behind a desk.

3. Researchers at the University of Missouri states sit for too long will break down fat absorbent circulation enzyme called lipase.

4. The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests sitting long (more than 6 hours per day) can increase the risk of death by 18 percent due to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, than people who spend three hours each day to sit down.

5. Researchers from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana lifestyle analyzing more than 17,000 men and women for 13 years and found people who spend most of their time sitting, 54 percent died of a heart attack.

A series of scientific evidence that it makes the company officials there to switch on the desk stand. Some even began to look at a treadmill desk so that we can walk slowly while working.

Unfortunately, experts warned that the stand all day as dangerous as sitting too long. Alan Hedge, director of the Human Factors and Ergonomics said, standing too long is not healthy because it is more tiring and increases the risk of carotid aterosklersosis (ninefold) because of the additional load on the circulatory system and increases the risk of varicose veins.

He also said that the ability of our motor will be reduced if a person is standing too long. Using a computer while standing could also change the posture and increase the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

So what's the solution? Hedge suggested that the activity of sitting in the office should be interspersed with physical activity every 20 minutes.

"Do variations in physical activity at work, like walking into the office kitchen to fetch water, climbing stairs, walking around the floor, or find parking a bit away from the office. Also make sure the desk and ergonomic chairs are used," he advised.

The American Heart Association recently recommended upper limit for added sugar intake, based on the number of calories that are needed throughout the day, their energy expenditure, sex, and age. For example, the right amount for an individual with the energy needs of 1,800 calories per day (average of a teenage girl 14-18 years of age may be in the range of calories) only require 100 calories from added sugars. An individual with the needs of 2200 calories per day should eat or drink no more than 150 additional calories from sugar.

Teenagers consume the highest levels of added sugar levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), good cholesterol, lower levels. In contrast, triglycerides and llow density lipoproteins (LDL), bad cholesterol, the higher levels.

Kalina Christoff of the University of British Columbia, Canada says that with a nap will activate parts of the brain that serves to solve the problem.
In his study, Kalina and colleagues performed brain scans using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner to find out what happens in the brain when someone is taking a nap.
Researchers trying to trace any changes that occur in the brain and know that when someone is sleeping, there are parts that remain active. And proved when participants were given several tasks and questions, those who do take a nap to complete the task faster than those who did not nap.
Until now, researchers speculate that part of the brain that serves as an 'executive network' related to solving the problem will remain active even in sleep.
It was based on the results of scans using fMRI in which the 'network executive' experience the most significant increase in activity, especially in the daytime. But researchers do not yet know with certainty why the day is better than night.
The study, published in the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences somewhat in contrast to previous studies which say that a lot of sleep could make the brain's ability to decrease.
But researchers trying to convince that a nap does not mean increasing sleep time, a significant amount of overall sleep in one day is still within reasonable limits, ie 6-7 hours a day for adults.
